Time Out has teamed up with tastelondon to offer you a fantastic one month free trial
A fast-expanding, rustically styled chain, Le Pain Quotidien was opened nearly two decades ago by Alain Coumount in Brussels. Bread remains the speciality. The farmhouse-style communal tables are relentlessly packed at weekends with bourgeois locals nibbling at sourdough loaves, or picking at charcuterie platters and fresh, inspired salads while sipping tea or coffee. Tartines (open-faced sandwiches) are the main draw, and there are plenty of creative toppings from which to choose, but our pork loin and artichoke hearts was pedestrian at best and didn’t justify the £8.50 charge. Curiously, the eat-in and takeaway tartine options differ.

A day is really wasted if you haven't had a laugh, hey? :-) I really love being immersed in life; whether it be sprawled in a park; sweating it out...

We enjoyed one afternoon tea and one dish of humus and bread. Good service and nice atmosphere but slightly pricy for what it is - standard fare for Marylebone High Street. Automatic 12.5% service charge a bit of a surprise in a cafe environment!
